I have literally heard this speech for a year and a half. Yawn.

This was supposed to be an optimistic speech but it isn't really. Its the same fear bullshit.

so far, it's implicitly dark, but tonally bland. Ample blood & guts ("slaughter of Moose-limbs" , "extinguishing vile enemies", etc etc)
"

Costa said the immigration stuff was clearly written by Miller. Used to write the same lines for Sessions.

Do his speechwriters know nothing about transitions?

sounds like reince and the steves took turns

I gotta say though this speech isn't the disaster was hoping for. It won't win anyone over, but so far I don't think it will hurt his approval ratings and i would expect a bit of a boost.

Though he has no understanding about how tariffs work.

cites trade deficit figures from 2015 for some reason, though 2016 figures are available

"repeal/replace Obamacare" gets biggest applause - Republicans are so hung up on their slogans

Why are Ryan and pence wearing the same tie?

"but enough about Megan and Danisha - let's get back to violence"

VOICE...Jesus Christ

"if they have to fight... and they only have to win"

what

Nice parade of immigrant killings

Don't these speeches normally propose new policies or plans at least slightly?

I like how he mentioned military and infrastructure during the childcare segment

Trump claiming lots of important intelligence gathered on very successful raid, which isn't true.

Oh cool he's quoting the Bible.

holy shit is he exploiting living hell out of the soldier he got killed
